The Law School Admission Council (LSAC) and Credential Assembly Service (LSDAS)

A single standardized service, The LSAC, processes all applications to law school in the United States, through their credential assembly service, LSDAS. A student who is planning to apply to law school joins the service, pays a fee for an account and submits all application materials to the service. LSAC assembles LSAT scores, student undergaduate transcripts, letters of recommendation from faculty, student essays, and other relevant documents and submits the assembled documents to the law schools to which the student chooses to apply. Joining, submission of documents, etc. is mostly done online at http://www.lsac.org/.

Law School Forums

The LSAC and LSDAS also present a series of Law School Forums at major cities throughout the United States, every year. The forums are held in convention centers, and offer students the opportunity to visit with recruiters from hundreds of law schools, take seminars on applying for financial aid for law school, writing your application essay, strategizing the best law schools for you to apply to, and many other relevant topics. Saint Rose sponsored a trip to the 2010 LSAC Forum in New York City on Sat. Oct 2, 2010. Watch for announcements of our anual forum trio in September 2011. Contact the pre-law advisor, Laura E. Weed, Philosophy Department for further information.
